the while Szochuna lie, with her forty-five million potential' con- sumers of British goods, virtually inaccessible. Do not let us be little the work of river captaina who have made steamer traffic on The Upper Yangtze possible, at all events, in the guminer; but this, Szechua's only means of approach, remains precarious transport, and freights rule very high.

Szechuan is one of, the contal countries of the Chinese continent. Baber walked across it, fifty years ngo, and his scholarly descriptiva paper lica neglected among the Proceedings of the Royal Geogra- phical Society. Hosie, some time our Consul at Chengtu, made an exhaustive study of the province its products and potentialities, and the result of his work was isuod as a Parliamentary Paper. He went to Szechuan again in 1911 and collooted additional informa tion, and after a third visit in 1021, he published at Shanghai & revised edition of his Report, His work, as he says in the preface, is not a story of travel or adventure, nor it is entertaining reading, but it is a useful and practical book of reference dealing with the lar gest and probably the richest pro vipeo of China from a commerciai und industrial point of view,

Remote and Noglected. Because it was remote from Treaty Ports and Foreign inter- course, Szechuan fored badly in the days of the Battle of the Con- cessions. Peiping Hankow, Shang. hai, and even Canton got railway loans, but it was not until 1911 that a line into "Four Streams" got na far as a loan agreement, and then only as a second atave of a system of railways radiating from lankow, of which the Arat remning to this day uncompleted. Railway progress was slow from 1911 to 1914, owing to the political turmoil and inter-provincial war- fare with which the country was harassed, and in 1914 as the out- break of the Great War it came to a full stop.

Ballway Schemes.

Now that the Nationalist Gov- ernment at Nanking has attained como semblance of control over the country generally, whispers of new railway construction programmes are about. When Sun Fo, the Re- publican Minister of Communion- tions, was in England two years ago he orated grandiloquently of completing the line from Hankow to Canton, a most attractive north- and-south trunk pannection, and The same project is said to have bean the theme of the talk between Sir Miles Lampson and C. T. Wang when they were discussing what to do with the Boxer In- demuity accumulated funds. Bit

a railway from Hankow to Canton would do little for British exports, which reach both thoas metropoil- tan citie, without difficulty, and .would not be increased in volume by facilities for passing by rail from one to the other. Little, in- deod, would be the effect of that line on our employment problem in comparison with one from Han kow to Chungking, and 'thence "to Chengtu.

The population of Szechuan hoạ been variously estimated as low na 30 millions, and as high as 60 mil- lions. The best opinion is that it İfɛɛ about mid-way between these figures, say x 45 millions. The whole of China is computed to oon- tain 450 million people, so that Szechuan contains, roughly speak- abg, one-tenth of the population of the country. The foreign imports into China for the past three years, 1027-1999, have an average annual viluo of 1,100 million taols, of which Szechuan takes 11 millions That is to say, a provinco with rme-tenth of the population of the country at present only consumés ano-hundredth of the foreign 1m- ports.

Fertile and Beautiful,

The provinco1s a very loruro and beautiful one. The Szechuan- ese are no less Industrious and. thrifty than the Cantonese, or tho people of Kingsu.. It is true that the provinco has suffered much from a sort of warfare due to the
